Olivier Armougon: Ax10x

[Removed:467] opened to 200,000 from the hijack and Vincent Montes defended his big blind.
On the Q♦5♠K♦ flop, Montes check-called a bet of 200,000 from his opponent.
The 10♣ rolled off on the turn, and Montes check-jammed for 1,000,000, versus a bet of 400,000 from Al Sayegh, who made the quick call.
Vincent Montes: Q♣6♣ 
[Removed:467]: K♠6♠
Montes second pair queens was no good versus Al Sayegh's top pair kings, and the 8♦ river confirmed his departure.

Moncef Karoui: 5♥5♦
Yannick Freysse: J♥J♠
Karoui was in trouble and no help arrived on the K♦K♠4♠10♥J♦ runout, Freysse rivering a full house to send Karoui to the rail as the first casualty on Day 2.

In just a few hours, one of the 15 remaining players in the €1,200 WSOP Circuit Paris, out of a field of 1,056 entrants, will be crowned the winner and receive a WSOP-C gold ring.
Maybe Nicolas Noguera will be this player. Winner of the WSOP-C Paris Main Event in 2016, he can become the first player to win two WSOP-C Main Events in the capital city of France. He will return on Day 4 with 2,475,000 chips, less than the average stack but still 25 big blinds.
However, he is far from the chip leader, Abel Pruchon, who had a very good run at the end of Day 3 to bag 8,925,000, thirty big blinds more than Olivier Armougon (5,900,000) and [Removed:467] (5,775,000).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Abel Pruchon | France | 8,925,000 | 89 |

| 4 | Mohamed Iche | France | 4,350,000 | 44 |
